Connecticut Resident Stopped By State Police For Radioactivity
Okian Warrior writes "A Milford, CT man was pulled over when a state police car radioactivity scanner flagged his car as being radioactive. The man had been given a cardiac exam using radioactive dye, and had a note from his physician attesting to this, but it raises questions about the legality of the stop. Given that it is not illegal to own or purchase or transport radioactive materials (within limits for hobbyist use), should the police be allowed to stop and search vehicles which show a slight level of radioactivity?"
Those old folks emitting radiation from their cancer treatment or whatever are more likely to be medical marijuana users. Easy picking for the armed thugs in blue, who will put this old geezer through the ringer and take his stash for themselves. God Bless America! Land of the free.....home of the slaves.
